Pinckney and Canning were for the present suspended, Mr. Pinckney . was treated with the most marked attention and cjvijity. The British Packet Manchester, for Hali fax and New-York, sailed three days before the Osage.

Eieut. Lewis proceeds this morning for the seat of governmentfwith dispatches from Mr. Arm trpng and Mr. Pinckney. It is said the dispatches are of the highest importance. .

Our readers will find under the London, head, an account of Bonaparte's Bayonnc de cree against American vessels. "v London, May 15. .. America seems now called upon to "make an immediate' decision in regard to England and France. In consequence of the Ameri can 'decree, Bonaparte - hjis now also decreets by an ordinance, dated from Bayonne, that every American vessel found in the European seas shall be captured and condemned. fhe expediency of this order is pretended to be founded upon the idea, that in consequence of the American decree, which prohibits the merchant vessels of America .from trading to Europe, "every merchant vessel found in. the European-seas, and pretended to be American, must be forgery, and; assume" a clilraeter to which it is not entitled. 1 he only Gottenburg - mail due -arrived yesterday with letters and papers from Swe den, to the 7th instant.

It is further staled, that Spain is to join the Confederation of the Rhine, and to furnish a contingent of 50,000 men, and that the late King and Q'-?en are to, be sent into France under a very -strong es cort. The, marriage of the now present king with one of the Bonaparte Family, (probably Mademoiselle La Pgerif)vill it is said short-, ly. take place. Nothing is said to.be yet der termined respecting tle fate of , the Prince of Peace, but he has been sent .off under a milir tary guil to France. , I,, Even this intelligence does nci-t convince us that Bonaparee had accomplished his views ..with regard to Spain.
